Default 2 Specific questions

What/how do you clean stainless i.e. speedway tips for PRTs that are starting to get brown from the exhaust?

And, how in the world do you get the bottom inside of the front window clean? I get my meat hook only so far without causing a smudge from the back of my hand on some other part of the window. Driving me crazy.

Thanks :cheers:

Clay Bar followed by paint cleanser. Or a metal polish (Mothers, Wenol, Blue Magic Liquid Metal Polish)

Griot's Garage has some pretty amazing tools for getting the deepes recess of the windshield. Otherwise you can put your window cleaner onto a MicroFiber towel and kinda of wedge it in there then slide it to the left or right.

Popcycle stick or tonque depressor, any thin piece of wood, stick it into the towel, and after spraying the glass cleaner, stick it down in and agitate, then take a second clean dry cloth and do it again to remove any residue.

Try Flitz or Wenol Auto & Motorcycle Metal Polish (blue) for the PRT tips if they aren't clear coated.
A spatula is a good way to get the lower parts of the window. And it's easy to use since it has a fairly long handle.
